In accordance with CLA’s Constitution, the 2019 electronic annual general meeting or eAGM of Civil Liberties Australia Inc will be held during February and March 2019.

This year’s eAGM involves the election of office bearers as the current two-year term expires with this eAGM. The eAGM will also consider any major notices of motion and, as required by regulation, vote on the annual reports of CLA.

Voting

Formal voting will take place between 10 and 22 March, either by members using an e-token sent to them by email, or by posted ballot papers for the few members without an email address.

Please keep an eye out for eAGM emails, which will include the Annual Report for 2018 (including the Treasurer’s Report and Financial Statement) and the President’s Report, which will be sent out by 5 March.

PLEASE UPDATE your EMAIL ADDRESS if it has recently changed by sending a message to: secretary@cla.asn.au The ‘second’ member of a household membership might like to also confirm their email address by the same means.

The Tasmanian AG has instantly rejected the CLA Australia Day call for an inquiry into the state’s legal system in 2020-2021. 'Nothing to see here, the system's perfect,’ she suggests. See CLA AUST DAY LETTER
